Just for clarification - where do you believe this is NOT happening now? Eg. Which clubs etc?

Yep, that's what I've gone with. I know it's impossible to tell until the regs are announced, but I've gone with this year's rules and had a go with what could be built. I don't think the limit will change too much. I can see the oversees u-21 rider rule being implemented, but not necessarily at number 6, just anywhere in the team. Also I don't think that the RS average should count towards to team total, the young Brits should be given every opportunity. I also think that the RS should be u-24s not u-21s. Let's see what happens at the AGM, whenever it happens.

Spot on... All the tracks are really doing is providing track time for these young lads given they are never going to be assets... And they can ride in both leagues over here, and, at least, two overseas, and more if they don't do Poland.. Therefore to say one club "nurtures" them, and has some loyalty call on their services, is stretching things to a fair old distance... Getting a contract in Poland is the absolute aim for so many, and the UK provides a stepping stone, as do other leagues around Europe.. The aim for the sport over here, and in other non Polish leagues, is to have a conveyor belt of riders coming through to replace those for whom Poland becomes their "main home"...

Agree. Didn't they bin him off as soon as he wasn't eligible for the Rising Star scheme? Can't imagine Tom going back after that.

I agree but as always with my 1-7's I factor in who's likely to be available because Clubs normally retain as many of their riders as possible from the previous campaign.

Tom is happy at Ipswich and the club stood by him  Unlike Belle Vue who decided to keep Blodorn and Lidsey rather than a young English rider  Not saying that was the wrong choice at all but I’m sure Tom would rather be at a club that will support his career rather than move him on quickly
